I see by yesterday's Greonvillo News you have sold out The Inlclligencor. (I sup pose it will . still be . published, of course.) It's a paper I've stood by for many, many years! have some copies of tho paper before tho war. Moro especially have I stood by It since you havo been connected with it. True, I've not said amen to every thing you'vo said and done, but you have Stood for and advocated things that I ADMIRE. You havo stood for JUSTICE and BIGHT between man and man as you saw It. Vou hove stood by the farmer and championed hla cause when he was down.. You havo stood by th? poor man and his family. y You have stood by the laborer for a square deal. Furthermore, you have advocated measures that caused yob to be un popular with bo nie and.yet the parr ties have, been forced to acknowledge I the wisdom of your stand. I I'm satisfied that a man that edits a newspaper or manages it, and does it fearleasly, don't sail on flowery beds, of ease. I'm'down on this wishy-washy milk; and cider business. Another thing please allow nie to ment inn. I like your mode of dealing with politics. Give every 'man a square deal. There's more rottenness now in politics than anything else. There are other things-1 might say, but perhaps you may think it silly in me to write you as i have. t if you are actually going out or the newspaper business, i suppose you think you see. something better, ?nd i hope you do. \ What I havo written you has been | clone UtrbUgh the kindest feelings. .

Uncle Dave's WHAT 18 LIFEl The question, Whai is your life? naturally suggest four divisions: 1. What is your life physically? 2. What is your life mentally? 3. What is your life morally? 4. What is your life sol ritual I y 7 Take a mun and remove from him all will power; he becomes a degen erate, a mun Without a character. Next, remove from him ull intellect, and without power and intellect he becomes the most helpless of idiots. Then removo from him all sensibility -the faculty by which he feels pain and pleasure?and without will, intel lect and sensibility you will have t mere machine, the physical man. Take a grain of wheat, grind it on a mortar until it is separated into the most minute particles and then place these particles under the most pow erful microscope known and even then you cannot discover life. A celebrated scientist defined lifo as the adjustment of iuncr organisms to environment. But the mind of man hau not yet solved the mystery. (Jod alone knows the secret. There are a great many other things we do not know. We do not now what electric, ity Is, although that mighty force was odd when Benjamin Franklin discovered the- existence of such n power. Neither do we know what matter Is. Oui' text-books on physics toll us that matter is composed of molecules and molecules of atom,*;, and atoms of millions of ions?and what Ib matter? The best sclent! minds of the world answer, "We do not know." ? What is our life mentally? The psychologist tells, U9 that u-?ind is that which feels, wills and thinks: it is the conscious self the ego; but the question, what is mind, still romaine iiiaiitswurua. wnat a wonderful thing is mind! They tell us that the dis tance from the earth to the sun Is 93J0OO.00O miles. Traveling at the I rate of 60 miles a minute, day and night, it would take 1,769 years to reach it. Put into our physical man a : trained mind, and we have made one I more step toward the ideal man. Mind Is necessary to progress. The bird makes its nest exactly as its an cestors of 1,000 years ago. No mind ?no progress. Mind is responsible for the great discoveries of the nine teenth cetnury. Within that jentury says Alfred F'asscll there were thir teen inventions of tho first rank?rail ways, Bteam navigation, electric tele graph telephone, friction matches, gas lighting,, photography, phono raph, Roenten rayr, spectrum anaiy Isis, use of anerthetics, and antisep tic surgery.. Whai is your life morally? Mental life deals with tho intellect, moral life with the will. But the mental and moral are closely con nected. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. We have put into our I sensible physical man a trained mind. We have not yet a guaranteed man of worth. Bacon was known a* I the wisest of men, and the meanest. We must now add moral worth, for It Is tho balance wheel of every tndTvia ual, and of society as well. What is your life spiritually? {This Is the most Important question. Eternal life is not a vapor. Physical life Is a vapor tfog), but eternal lite is a never ending sunshine. You may have a strong physical body, a train, ed mind, and bo morally good (in the commonly accepted meaning of thai phrase) yet miss real life. The tes timony of many attests tho truth ot tho statement. Each man tries to Und lifo in his work, but real lifo lies back of It. To the preacher life's a sermon, To the miser life 1b money. To the loafer life is rest. To ehe lawyer life's a trial, To the doctor life's a patient That needB - treatment right along. To the teacher Hfo's a school; To the soldier life's a battle, 1 Life's a good thing to tho grafte It's a failure to the fool. To tbe man upon the engine, Life's a long and heavy grade; To the merchant life is trade. To the rascal life's) a fraud; Life is but a long vacation - To the,man who loves his woFi il/fe's ah everlasting effort To shun duty, to the shirk. To the Sternal Christian worker LlfeH a story ever new ;. Life Ib what we try to/make-it Brother, what is life to you? Real life is not a property of physi atoms, nor. does it lie In mental at tainment, in occupation or the wealth we possess, but in the t which Inspires us to live for eternity. For what is man profited it he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul 7 Or what shall a man give In exchange for hia soul? Bringing the question still " closer, which would yon rather have. If you had to make a choice? nn? inmiir<v* mlllinna if dollars, lands, housep, automobiles, etc., or a sore hope-of eterna) life? Ah, physical life Ib but a vapor but eternal, tire endures. Our Savior said: "Whoso ever liveth and bellevetb in Me shall never die." Thflhlstoryof Christianity has been one of sacrifice. The real pillows of our churches are not thoso of wood and stone, which you see.-but they ar e the consecrated lives of. men and women whose sacrifice has made Its existence possible. Thus it has. been in all ages. Would you know what real life is? Seek "Christ. Phil lips Brooks, when asked what was the greatest text said: . There Is only one text?"I am come that they might bave lite and that they might have- it more ?bundantly."? Earthi? iif-, thss is not all. As Henry Warhock has so beautifully said; -tis?

JHHB ^^^^^^^^^^^^ (Political Advertisement) I hereby announce myself as a candidate for the office of Rail road Commissioner, subject to tlu rules of the Democratic primary I believe in being fair to the railroads, and then require them to be fair to the people, giving them the best service possible, with .!', convenient schedules, and make all reasonable stops at stations and flag stations for the convenience of the patrons of the road; furnish comfortable, sanitary depots, fully equipped with lights, fuel, water, etc., at all times maintaining a good road bed to insure as far as possible safety to the traveling public, always furnishing neat, com fortable coaches. A great effort should be made to so arrange the schedules as to make close connections at all connecting points, there by causing as little delay as possible to the traveling public. I favor an interchangeable mileage book good on all roads within the State I stand for the best telephone service, giving to the small towns and the rural sections as good service as the large towns receive. I favor a reduction of the express rates, as they are now too high in many instances. South Carolina should enjoy as low freight rates on any and all commodities as any of our sister states. I believe that all claims should be adjusted by the railroad agent at the time or within ten days after the shipment reaches its destinatin with a shortage. The law as it now stands is inefficient to cover practically every view herein expressed and the Railroad Commission has authority to exe cute them without delay. L lf I am elected you may expect me to strive earnestly to bring | about these, with many other changes that will be helpful to all classes of our people. Respectfully, J. H. WH?RTON.

SEW EH AUE IN THE COUNTRY One great problem peculiar to tbe ural districts Is that of tho proper lBposal of organic refuse and similar /asto matter. In the cities.such mat er is completely and satisfactorily aken care of in the modern sewerage ystcms, and thus the city Is enabled o preserve a cieaniiness which is of reatest aid in fighting disease. When such matter, is allowed to tand in the open, as every rural res lent knows, it becomes a awarming lace for flies and a hot bed Tor dta ase germs; it poiutes the r* i and tho risking water, and Ib always an un '.s'-.t'.y and emberriuutinK nuisance, luch conditions. are generally tbe ause of sickness and disease. The Sanitary Septic Tank, espcclal v designed along Improved lines, for so in the rural districts, ana manu actured by Weston & Booker, Co mnbia, 8.
